In the first nine days of June, the Surrey school district sent out 19 COVID-19 exposure notifications.
That’s a “steady decrease,” according to the district, which sent out 245 in all of May and 375 at its peak in April.
It notes the number of self-monitoring notices dropped to 39 in the first nine days of June from 421 in May and 697 in April. Class isolation letters also dropped to two in the first nine days of June from 37 in May and 67 in April.
The district says cases have “decreased dramatically” over the last month thanks to high staff and community vaccination uptake.
The BCCDC’s weekly data report shows a range of vaccination rates up to June 10 for those aged 18-plus in the nine communities Surrey is broken into: North Surrey (72 per cent), Whalley (76 per cent), Guildford (75 per cent), West Newton (78 per cent), East Newton (78 per cent), Fleetwood (80 per cent), Cloverdale (79 per cent), Panorama (81 per cent) and South Surrey (80 per cent).
For those aged 12 and over, vaccination rates up to June 10 are just slightly lower in each community: North Surrey (70 per cent), Whalley (74 per cent), Guildford (73 per cent), West Newton (75 per cent), East Newton (76 per cent), Fleetwood (78 per cent), Cloverdale (77 per cent), Panorama (79 per cent) and South Surrey (78 per cent).
